The easiest way to carry your canoe is to install a roof rack on your SunLite Eagle truck bed camper. There are several options to choose from for a roof rack for your camper.

The SportRack Pop-Up Camper Roof Rack # SR1020 that you referenced will work well as long as your camper has square edges. The # SR1020 will not fit trailer roofs with rounded or curved edges. This rack has a weight capacity of 200 pounds

Another option is the Swagman Roamer LT Roof Rack for Pop-Up Campers and Camper Shells # S80510. This rack will mount on the flat part of the camper top rather than at the edge. The weight capacity of the Roamer is 150 pounds.

You can also use a track mounted roof rack system that will allow you to adjust the crossbar spread. One track mount option is the Thule Top Track # THTP42 with 60 inch SquareBars # TH712500, Thule Podium Roof Mounted Foot Pack # TH460R, and the Fit Kit # THKIT3101. The square load bars will work well to transport your Kevlar canoe.

To secure the canoe to the roof rack, I recommend the Yakima KeelOver Rooftop Canoe Carrier with Tie-Downs # Y04069. The gunwale brackets feature rubber packs to help stabilize and cushion the canoe. Yakima's universal mounts that come with the KeelOver will fit crossbars up to 3-1/2 inches tall x 3-1/2 inches wide. The recommended crossbar spread is 24 inches for canoes under 14 feet and 30 inches for canoes over 14 feet.
